2 Kings 4: Elisha’s Miracles for the Needy

Elisha multiplies a poor widow’s oil so she can pay her debt and keep her sons from slavery. He promises a son to a hospitable woman of Shunem and later prays the boy back to life after he dies. He also makes a poisoned stew harmless during a famine and feeds a hundred men with twenty loaves.
